I so wish I were there with you guys. Lived on St Pete Beach for a couple years. Miss the water living in the desert now. I had no idea butterscotch pudding had anything to do with Disney but Abbey it's my favorite too. My gal makes if for me from scratch when I'm good.
My uncle has a place at Mexico beach that was destroyed during Hurricane Michael, we were there a month before. My entire family has vacationed in MB for over 20 years.
Most of the goodness in oysters is their "texture" and firmness. It's true, fresh seafoods will "turn" in just 24 hours especially if you are used to same day caught and consumed, its spoils you. Clam Chowder is the ultimate, the white version as is a good oyster cream stew. So sad that some of our restaurants simply don't serve the more deserving dishes anymore. BTW, it is very hard to beat a real brick wood fired oven when it comes to pizza and other baked items. I like them cooked a little more than a little less to get the top crust and goodies browned plus the smoke flavor ! Bring me another !
Never ate them steamed like that but have ate them like that just like that grilled.... they where freaking awsome grilled with garlic and porm cheese butter on the half shell....
We like making cocktail sauce with Chili Sauce instead of Ketchup, as for hot sauce I'm a . Fortunately we have some GREAT Horseradish by us since we're local to a HUGE Polish Population and they make some of the best horseradish (creamy and rough grated). We use rough grated in our cocktail sauce. As for hot sauce? Tabasco is my "go to", but I like many of them, so we change it up. We'll make up several types and MANY like it made with Franks Red Hot and Chili Sauce, the other popular one we make is the way Abby makes it...with ketchup. Adam, you NAILED the flavor of an oyster. Personally, I like mine raw, by the dozens. Most people that think that they are "nasty" either have never had them, or are judging them by their look. I do like them baked as well, but raw is my favorite. GREAT Shot of that bald eagle! We have a nesting pair just about a mile from my home, and they fly over once in a while.
Another great place to eat is Dagwood on Reid ave and the pizza place Bruno’s at Windmark beach which is on the way to Mexico Beach. Shell shack on Mexico beach have great seafood they will steam for you. The Piggly Eiggly has awesome fried chicken Can you tell I’m excited to have you here.
I grew up very near there, Adam. In my youth, it was privately-owned and visitors were not allowed. As teens, we made a good many surreptitious trips to the island. Fortunately, we never got caught.
I like raw oysters on a cracker with a horseradish and cocktail sauce mixture that will melt your brain😂. All that food looks great. I'm hitting that place up, the next time I visit my buddy in Mexico Beach.
We will be camping here for the 1st time in a few weeks. Stayed at the state park many times before the hurricane took it out, glad to see it's back open. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you for coming by cat 5 for lunch. Only problem I have is y'all need one of my coozies, coolest ever, lol. If you can message me an address or if you are still around swing by and tell them scooter said to come get a coozie. Awesome video
Thank you for showing our beautiful city. So blessed to be raised and get to raise my kids here. Got engaged at the city pier amost 25 years ago. Welcome to our slice of heaven.
So happy you visited the Port Saint Joe area my Wife and I love it there. Too bad you didn't visit the cape it has an excellent state park out on the end that used to have awesome campsites until Hurricane Michael. Hopefully they will finish the restoration soon.
I'm sorry I can eat them Adam glad you love them but I got some bad ones one time was sick for two weeks an have not ate none since I just can't do it but you do you if you love them go for it
My tastes are the same as yours, Abby. I only make my own cocktail sauce. A truckload of horseradish and a little ketchup. I have also made it with BBQ sauce for grilled or smoked seafoods.
That’s definitely not a barefoot beach,lol. I run between Baton Rouge to St. Marks by water twice sometimes 3 times a month and there are plenty of eagles 🦅 in that area. Enjoyed seeing all of that from the land side.
Narrator says, " I believe that is considered St. Vincent Sound ". Nope, what you're looking at is actually Indian Lagoon. Harvested many oysters from there growing up.
Adam, do the still have alotta hurricane damage down in that area?? We drove from P'cola to Crystal River 2 years ago and Mexico beach, Tyndall all had significant damage .... I mean holy crap mindboggling damage
